Maybe I’m nuts or…. nuts but I was thinking last night what I will be doing when my bucks are dropping their antlers. Like, at the exact moment. And I grabbed my calculator. Using a 90 day period from Jan 1st to the end of March. Estimated numbers of course
2010 MN deer population : 1,000,000
Deer harvested(based on 09 numbers: 194,178
Deer remaining: 805,822
Buck to doe ratio(est.1-5)Bucks left: 161,164
(below set of numbers are doubled-each buck has 2 antlers.)
Antlers dropped per day 3,581.42
Antlers dropped per hour 298.45
Antlers dropped per minute 4.97
1 antler dropped every 12 seconds!
And,, trust me, the math is right. Go get em boys!
